Having a dummy 'global on' line at the top of a module would be a
clear enough idiom.

Another idiom would be:

global mary,jane

function mary() .. end

function jane() .. end

How would code access globals like math, io, etc?  These would have to
be predeclared up front?

How are module imports handled - does the semantics of require() change?
